Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for September 28, 2019

A variety show for the first weekend of autumn eschews a couple of Unpopular Music traditions. No Autumn Leaves, no commemoration of Coltrane, Springsteen, Ray Charles or any of the other September 23rd Birthday Club (or John Carter on the 24th.) We do dig into my project of catching up on the backlog of records that I haven't gotten onto my hard drive. (Please forgive the pops and crackles.) There's a bunch of 80's jazz, some high-modernist piano, some artificial folk music and a mandolin and banjo jam from the marketplace in Marrakesh.

And lastly, my inability to correctly pronounce a couple of Asian names and titles totally wrecks the last mic break. Apologies.



See the playlist after the break...
